Dear Janet, I cannot believe that such a stylishly designed, well appointed room is in a garage. I love it. However, looking at the drum kit, I am pleased that it is in a garage -well away from anyone's drawing room!!
How timely this post is for me. My son is moving out this weekend into a house with two of his friends. I am under no illusion that his room will be tidy, rather more like a moshpit. Half of me is quite sad, while the other is happy. Is this the normal reaction J ? xx Your lad has loads of style. Love the toolbox and shoes.
Hi J That is one chic garage! Is this the son who works at Ralph Lauren? The antlers are adorable. It is all looks so cosy. I get to see my nephew again tomorrow for his christening. I'll say hi to him for you. He has never eaten meat, only vegetables so far!xxxxxxxxx
How quaint and cute! I love how he had different areas set up and of course, the clothes in the tool box! :) But, where was the kitchen?

ReplyDeleteEven cuter...I just noticed the vintage suitcases and the artwork on the wall between the shutters!!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteSon # 2 is a very natty dresser Janet!
ReplyDeleteThe apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...
and look at those shoes, he's a man after my own heart.
My daughters' beau has just moved into a space not unlike this...with a drum set too...he's named it the Sneaker Box because it's so small.
:)
ReplyDeletefirst I thought Kirstin already added a new posting on my blogroll - she is the one moving into garage!

ReplyDeleteedith - yes, that drum kit is much better off in the garage.

ReplyDeleteHe really does have style. Cool style, in a band? Watch out!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have antlers? what's the story there?
daryl - must be.
ReplyDeletejulie - they are shed antlers, found hiking, lashed together with heavy twine.
Having looked at the drum kit, I hope that the garage wasn't attached to the house!
ReplyDeletedesign and style runs in the family i see!
ReplyDeleteI love this, such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh what flair! So dapper, a natural! All a gift that serves one well for a lifetime. Best, Diane

Dear Janet, He has such great taste. Beautiful clothes, scarves, and shoes. You can tell he takes care of them too. Very smart, very wise. xox, CW

anne marie - mostly i experienced happiness! but there are days.
cw - he does have very cool things.
Ladys,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice complements. I learned everything i know in this world from my mother.
I literally had no money when i lived in that filthy garage, but living in style is the only way to live, so i had to fix it up a little...
Maybe there will be pictures of my new home next month...haha...
Thanks mom.
-Alexander
How sweet!
ReplyDeleteSomeone has pretty stylish taste in footwear, and nicely polished to boot ( no pun was intended there)
My #2 son is also a drummer :)
Beautiful tribute to your mom, Alexander. Hugs, Joyce
ReplyDeleteVery stylish - you can tell you have the same decorating style too Janet... wonderful. x

ReplyDeletejoyce - i thought so too.
sarah - aww, thanks. really?
ff - yes, double rl in malibu. do say hi to tom for me. alex only eats vegetable too.
alex - love.
ReplyDeleteSeeing this, I think I could live in a garage! It looks simple and easy to maintain... something I am desperate for the older I grow :)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing Alex's post...
ReplyDeleteJob well done mom. ;)
Your D R sis
Alexander's comment is the SWEETEST. Cute, cute, cutie pie son! Lucky you Janet. xoxoTrina
ReplyDeleteOh - The Drum Kit. I've always wanted a drum kit. I almost want to come over and play cool rhythms on it.
ReplyDeleterebecca - yes it does look simple but remember, no heat or air or bathroom.
ReplyDeleteanon - thank you sista.
trina - thanks, now that you mention it, he is kinda cute.
mmw - do it!
How GREAT!! I would love to have my son so close!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a stylish garage living situation. Mostly refugees and overstayers with not nearly as much panache...
ReplyDeleteHe clearly takes after his mother. Love the antlers.
midwest - he lives far away now.
ReplyDeletefiona - thanks. he seems to follow in my footsteps, poor boy.
